Gamers using Nintendo's next generation Wii console will be able to surf the Internet using a browser from Opera Software, the companies said today.

Sweet.  One of the guys in my class said you'll be able to play the old nintendo games on it also.  If so I'd buy it just to play some of those 8 bit games again :P

Why not just emulate them on your PC, Mike?  IIRC, the entire NES library is something like 75MB

Its been a while but the last time I tried some emulators they sucked donkey balls.  Couldn't save, would crash at random times, etc.  Though if you have a linky I'd be more then happy :P

You'll be able to play the NES, SNES, and N64 games as well as Sega's "Greatest Hits" games.

That's all very well, but will you be able to play old Nintendo games on it?

Why did they call it 'wii'? Are they taking the piss...?
